The Equal Status Acts prohibit harassment in educational establishments.

Under the Equal Status Acts, a person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment, shall not allow another person, who has a right to be present or avail of the services being offered, to suffer harassment.

The Equal Status Acts defines harassment as any form of unwanted conduct related to the discriminatory grounds,

being conduct which has the purpose or effect of violating a person's dignity and creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that person.

this unwanted conduct may consist of acts, requests, spoken words, gestures or the production, display or circulation of written words, pictures or other material.

The Equal Status Acts also prohibit a person in authority harassing a student or prospective student, at a school.

A person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment should take steps as are reasonably practicable to prevent the harassment. It can serve as a defence for the person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment to show that they took reasonably practicable steps to prevent the harassment.

The existence of a policy in relation to harassment, which has been effectively communicated to all individuals present can provide a defence for the person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment, even where a perpetrator has been found guilty of the harassment.

However, if the person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment did not take reasonably practicable steps to prevent the harassment (for example, the absence of a policy regarding harassment) it will make it difficult, if not impossible, for the person who is responsible for the operation of an educational establishment to avoid liability for the harassment.

Be advised of any significant changes to the education plan.

Since 2017, the 'Migrant Integration Strategy (MIS) - A Blueprint for the Future' has been the central policy framework adopted by Government to promote the integration of all migrants who are legally residing in the State. It envisages a whole-of-government approach to enhance diversity, inclusion and equity for migrants across all aspects of Irish society through increased focus on social inclusion measures, improved access to public services and targeted action to address racism and xenophobia.

Páipéar Taighde ar Chultúr agus Stair an Lucht Siúil

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Forbraíodh an tuarascáil taighde ar chultúr agus stair an Lucht Siúil achoimre a thabhairt ar a bhfuil ar eolas faoi láthair, ar gach rud a thuigtear faoi láthair agus ar an méid a taifeadadh maidir le gnéithe éagsúla de chultúr agus stair an Lucht Siúil. Níl sé mar aidhm aige gach gné de chultúr agus de stair an Lucht Siúil a chlúdach.

Cuireann an tuarascáil taighde forbhreathnú gairid ar phobal an Lucht Siúil in Éirinn ar fáil, tugann sé breac-chuntas ar thionchar an chiníochais ar an bpobal agus pléann sé stair an Lucht Siúil. Déantar iniúchadh ann ar chultúr an Lucht Siúil, mar shampla, an fhánaíocht, gníomhaíochtaí eacnamaíocha, patrúin phósta, struchtúr an teaghlaigh, cleachtais reiligiúnacha. Déantar cur síos inti freisin ar chuid de na rudaí a chuir an Lucht Siúil agus a leanann siad ar aghaidh ag cur le sochaí na hÉireann, tríd an ealaín, ceol, agus spórt. Ina theannta sin, déantar iniúchadh sa taighde ar theanga an Lucht Siúil agus ar a húsáid in Éirinn sa lá atá inniu ann. Ar deireadh, breathnaíonn sé ar an Lucht Siúil in Éirinn sa lá atá inniu ann agus tá sonraí ann maidir le gaiscí bhaill an phobail agus maidir le forbairtí dearfacha eile don phobal.

Úsáidfear an tuarascáil taighde chun na críche seo a leanas:

a bheith mar bhonn eolais d'athbhreithniú agus d'athfhorbairt/nuashonrú sonraíochtaí curaclaim agus d'fhorbairt sonraíochtaí nua mar chuid d'obair leanúnach ar fud earnálacha

a bheith mar bhonn eolais maidir le acmhainní agus ábhair do mhúinteoirí/cleachtóirí a fhorbairt
a bheith mar bhonn eolais againn freisin maidir le cuir chuige idirchultúrtha i leith an oideachais ar bhonn níos leithne.

Cáipéis bheo is ea an tuarascáil taighde seo ina bhfuil naisc chuig beartais, suíomhanna agus acmhainní cuí.
